I have one with Fedora. No driver issues. Hardware-wise, a Framework is as good a laptop for Linux that I know of.

I installed a Crucial P5 SSD in mine, and it caused Linux to crash on waking from sleep. I switched to a different brand and now it's fine. There are several mentions of this problem in the Framework forums, and one of them is from me.

The battery life is not great. I haven't run Windows on the laptop to compare, but I've heard Linux is less good at managing laptop battery life.

What frustrates me the most is that Gnome and KDE have no way to control the trackpad scroll speed under Wayland! Not the pointer speed, the scroll speed. It's a really weird thing to have missing from a desktop environment in 2022 and the default speed is annoyingly high.

KDE also still does not support the fingerprint reader for logging in. Apparently this has been a known issue for years.
